Pastel Morph?

What makes a pastel a pastel? Specifically.

Sometimes, you don't even need to ask ...

Just remember ... descriptions on the internet are nice to have from an education standpoint, but there are many scammers out there that know the descriptions too ... Lots have people have been suckered into buying animals that seemed to fit the pastel description but were actually just very nice normals ... know who you are buying from and in this business, you really do get what you pay for.

It's good to know I wasn't the only one who didn't know. I think the key is to be shown in person... internet pictures don't do it justice. I had to compare a normal to a pastel to really appreciate the difference.

just a couple pics to compare, like alot of morphs once you see them in person, you get it.

My problem is that I am looking to buy one. Seeing the pics online is hard to tell if the color is really good on the snake or just a good photo? Is there anyone thing to look for? Anyone heard of Don Kaye Reptiles?

give us a pic or link, take a poll!

Good idea. It would be educational for me as well since I have pastels on the project plan. Since I took such a long leave of absence from herping I've made my mind up to go with the Graziani line for the first batch. Until I know who's who in the business anyway, better be safe than sorry.

Just because a pastel comes from a certain "line" doesn't mean the seller isn't shady ... Make sure you research anyone that you are thinking about sending money to and check references no matter what "line" they are selling.

Some dirt balls will actually lie about what pastel line they are selling because they know that some people are more drawn to certain "names" ... just something to keep in mind.

:D
